Ehleringer, James R.; Bush, Sarah Elizabeth | Ecophysiology of riparian cottonwood and willow before, during, and after two years of soil water removal | Riparian cottonwood/willow forest assemblages are highly valued in the southwestern United States for their wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and watershed protection. Yet these forests are under considerable threat from climate change impacts on water resources and land-use activities to support hum... | Riparian cottonwood; Riparian willow; Soil water removal; Coyote willow; Drought recovery; Populus fremontii; Riparian ecology; Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area; Salix exigua; Stem sap flux; Leaf carbon isotope ratios | 2010 |

Nicoll, Kathleen; Chan, Marjorie A. | Utah's geologic and geomorphic terrestrial analogs to Mars: a training ground for future robotic and human missions to Mars | Utah offers spectacular geologic features and valuable analogue environments and processes for Mars studies. Relatively intact, horizontal strata of the Colorado Plateau are analogous to Mars, where the effects of strong ground motion from earthquakes or impacts are preserved. Within Utah, easily ac... | | 2010 |

Planelles, Vicente | Method for obtaining an enriched population of sirna-expressing cells | Problems with transience of siRNA-mediated knock-down and transfection efficiency have limited the scope of RNAi-based experiments. The invention provides a tool for employing RNAi more efficiently and effectively by integrating RNAi expression with methods of cell enrichment. | | 2010 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Hematopoietic origin of pathological grooming in Hoxb8 mutant mice | Mouse Hoxb8 mutants show unexpected behavior manifested by compulsive grooming and hair removal similar to humans with OCD-spectrum disorder trichotillomania. Since Hox gene disruption often has pleiotropic effects, the root cause of this behavioral deficit was unclear. Here we report that, in the b... | | 2010 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Hoxa1 lineage-tracing indicates a direct role for Hoxa1 in development of the inner ear, the heart and the third rhombomere | Loss of Hoxa1 function results in severe defects of the brainstem, inner ear and cranial ganglia in humans and mice as well as cardiovascular abnormalities in humans. Since Hoxa1 is expressed very transiently during an early embryonic stage, it has been difficult to determine whether Hoxa1 plays a d... | Hoxa1; Inner ear; Third rhombomere; Hindbrain; Hoxa1-IRES-Cre mouse; Embryonic development; Lineage-tracing | 2010 |
